The place is not near to the commercial area (Siam/ Phaya Thai). It's in a very local area whereby you can feel less tourist business spot and stay like a local. 7-11 is 10minutes walking distance. Nearest railway station is Hua Mak Station about 15minutes walking distances. If you need to go shopping at Siam area, I suggest you can take taxi all the way from here (3-4person better, total around 200baht taxi fares). And also if you done shopping at Siam for the whole day and feel very tired after that, the express way is to take taxi from there to get back (around 200baht also). For those who loves night life and want to get some entertainment after back to this area, this place is not very recommended, I suggest you to find near to central. Owners are very very very helpful and friendly, they went to pick us up from HM station when we first arrived and bring us to go for dinner. He helps us to move all the heavy luggages to 4th floor because the place doesn't have lift. The sofa bed is very comfortable, and owner prepared water for us for the stays. Overall a very quiet and relax place, different vibes and environment from central area. If you don't mind to spend on taxi fares you can consider here, if you want very convenient environment I suggest you go for tourist area place is better.
